Marks: I devote my Ruthlessness to the victory you will lead.
[C] Marks: I’m the one who cares about Master the most. I’m the one Master can depend on the most. I’m the one praised by Master the most.
[C] Marks: I’m the most excellent and worthy sniper rifle for Master.
--CAPTION-- Following only Master, he’s a loyal dog of a sniper.
Marks: I’ll destroy all of Master’s enemies with one shot.

Marks: After that, I began to try all kinds of dishes, but nothing was ever better than the curry Master made back then.
Marks: To make such a thing, Master is a genius...!

--CAPTION-- VIOLET CONFLICT
[C] Marks: Thinking of my Master’s sake, how could I use something like Absolute Ruthlessness!?
[C] Marks: The rose scar brings my Master pain!
[C] Marks: I’ll protect them!
--CAPTION-- Shut up! Shut up!
[C] Marks: Absolute Ruthlessness... I don’t have a choice...!
Marks: No matter what I have to do, no matter what price I have to pay...
Like Two: I devote my Ruthlessness to the victory you will lead.

--CAPTION-- A self-disciplined pragmatist who forges ahead to accomplish his goals.
Like Two: Haha, scream already, all you weaklings.

Like Two: Did you hear what I said at all!? First of all, plug it in! Nothing’s gonna turn on without a power source, dumbass!
Chassepot: Plug it in?
Like Two: You don’t know how to plug something in? Don’t mock me, you old geezer...

[C] Like Two: Not again... I’ll never be a failure again!
Like Two: All I wanted... was the power to achieve my goals.
Springfield: I devote my Ruthlessness to the victory you will lead.
[C] Springfield: I don’t want to cause trouble for Master, and yet, this feeble body of mine just refuses to cooperate.
[C] Springfield: The way I am, I really hate myself.
--CAPTION-- A gun with a short lifespan who’s detached from his emotions and bearing many wounds.
Springfield: I will fight as I’m ordered to...

Charleville: Putting aside the little things, let’s be friends! I’ve always wanted a little brother, so I’d be happy if you called me your big brother.
Springfield: ...!?
Charleville: Sounds nice, right? Go on, try saying it! “Charle-nii-san,” like that!
Springfield: ...Charle-nii, n-nii-san...?

[C] Gras: Together, just the two of us, let’s have a wonderful night. Now, come here.
--CAPTION-- An incarnation of beautiful greed, never satisfied with what he has.
Gras: Splendidly and insatiably, let’s enjoy it to the very end, Master.
. . .
Gras: Oh, shut up... You’re quite mistaken if you think you can make me do the cleaning.
Tabatierre: It’s not exactly a matter of cleaning. You being by yourself makes me worry about all kinds of things, so I’m going to help you.
Gras: Hmph. Isn’t it Chassepot that you want to look after, not me?
. . .
--CAPTION-- Endless Jealousy, Stolen Glory
[C] Gras: ...ah, that’s right. I’m quite pitiable, aren’t I?

[C] Gras: Even if you take it, if you have what you desire, it’s okay.
[C] Gras: I, as I am, cannot be loved.
Gras: The strong profit by stealing from the weak. Isn’t that just the way of the world?
Herme: I devote my Ruthlessness to the victory you will lead.
[C] Herme: One of many Masters perished in battle. In a place of war, isn’t that unavoidable?

[C] Herme: Shoot through the enemy accurately.
--CAPTION-- A handsome perfectionist who’s as cold as iron.
Herme: We are iron— Heartless, level-headed, and wielding great power.
. . .
Herme: ...could this be about what I said before, perhaps? If it’s about hydration for guns, oil is correct.
Herme: Heh... ahahaha. You can be foolishly honest, you know, and do things that astound me.
Herme: I said that treating me as you would a person is entirely unnecessary, however... As I am now, I am merely imitating a human body to a somewhat satisfactory extent.

--CAPTION-- Denkendes Eizen1
[C] Herme: Humans are fragile and easy to sway. You can only rely on yourself. Personal attachments will lead you to ruin.
[C] Herme: In battle, emotions are unnecessary.
[C] Herme: To enhance the rate of success of operations, as well as one’s own chance of survival, you must keep a level head.
Herme: I’m not afraid of death. Relying entirely on my own strength, I will wield the power of Absolute Ruthlessness.

[C] Siegblut: So long as I can fight to perfection, it doesn’t matter to me if my Master dies.
[C] Siegblut: Think about... Don’t think about it... Don’t... think about it...
Siegblut: It’s pointless. When consumable goods are used...

Arisaka: On the battlefield, there’s no choice but to live from one second to the next...
Murata: I devote my Ruthlessness to the victory you will lead.
[C] Murata: Be silent, beast. I’ll bring you down with the next shot. Or would it be to your liking for death to be bestowed upon you slowly?

[C] Murata: One such as an incompetent superior officer shall end up killed by their own men.

[C] Murata: Arisaka!!
[C] Murata: Have you ever seen a camellia flower blooming amidst the snow? So long as you stay beside me, I’ll ensure that you never have to suffer again. I’ll protect you.
[C] Murata: I wonder, is it the destiny of humans to hope for those close to them to at least have peace?
[C] Murata: That’s why I’ll always, always protect you.
Murata: Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Do not hesitate, do not waver— instead, push boldly on.
Hachikyu: I devote my Ruthlessness to the victory you will lead.
[C] Hachikyu: Even after coming to a military academy, a gunman’s life is super hard mode.
[C] Hachikyu: I wanna just skip out... but if I do that, the supplementary lessons will be way too much of a pain...
[C] Hachikyu: Nah, this game is better than I thought it’d be, and the background graphics are pretty great...
